Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday
It's that time of the week again, to tell the world about how you stole some "me" time for an hour! YEP That's right it's Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday! How did you spend your hour? Don't know what Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday is? Well Heather from Theta Mom created a challenge and the goal is to grab one hour of time within one week to do whatever you want…without the kids!You can join Heather's Challenge and steal one hour of "ME" time too! All you have to do is blog about it and then link up your Time Out for Theta Mom Post with her! It's so much fun!!
This week I actually took several "time outs"! On Friday I had a rough day with the Little Miss Diva in Training and when the hubby got home and after dinner I snuck off to Target for an hour and did some shopping. Well i bought diapers and wipes that were on a killer sale, and a shirt that I have been eyeing for a while that had gone on sale. It felt great to get out of the house and un-wind after a hard day! I also got to sneak out on Tuesday for a little thrift store shopping. I was able to get a few winter times for miss diva on sale for super cheap!
On Saturday night my hubby was the chosen driver for our nephew and his girlfriends date, he took them to a haunted house and while we was waiting he got to hang out with his friends for a few hours so i took the time to myself! I logged onto the computer and did a new blog design. I know it does not sound like fun, but to me it was great! It was a solid 3 hours of un-interrupted creative design time that i have been wanting to do for a while! OH i have a new button so grab that while you are here!
Last night I was in a weird mood so i decided that i was not going to cook, and we went to dinner instead! It was great! We went to my favorite restaurant, it was quiet and we had a really yummy meal and Miss Diva was so good the whole time! No melt downs in the restaurant! Which that only was enough to make me the happiest mommy ever!
I usually use nap time to get lots of things done, like blogging, writing reviews,cleaning the house, laundry, that kind of stuff. And I never get to enjoy nap time anymore i really miss the days when i get to just relax for an hour. So this week i decided that i was not going to work during nap and would enjoy the time to myself. And i got to take 2 naps, watch a soap one day, and just relax and feel refreshed for the rest of the day. It was great and i should do it more often!
I know i had lots of time to myself this week! And you should plan to spend some time to yourself too! It feels really great, and it's Thursday and i don't feel worn out, i feel great! Now go spend some "me" time for yourself!

I love target. I love shopping trips by myself where I am not saying, come on buddy, hurry up buddy, watch out buddy, and then not having to strap two kids into car seats. Sound like Heaven to me.

Shopping on your own is the best! I'm not a shopper, but if I have to do it, I like to do it alone.
